Lets be realistic here. The Democrats that are trying to pass this monstrosity are ideologues, and many don't care if they lose their seats to get this passed. They know that if they get this done, we'll never get rid of it, unless there is a revolution of epic proportions. Look at Social Security, and Medicare; extremely poorly run government concepts, but people are now dependent on it. The same will happen with this. If it gets passed, this albatross will be just another thing to choke the lifeblood out of this country.

We have one shred of hope left.. the Supreme Court.

If this shit passes, let's hope for the change that will overturn it. I don't think requiring people to buy a health insurance policy will stand up in court.

 

Well let's not give the supreme court to much credit.  If they had been doing their job all alone, they could have found a lot of the practices by the insurance companies are already uncosntitutional.  Not to mention, for anyone that loves capitalism should probably be checking these guys out as well as they infringe on that luxury every day.  Overturning this bill, won't get us to an ideal setting, but it will stop one that is unideal as well. 

Of course if the government actually cared about a lot of my constitutional rights then there would be as many issues.  Hell if the people arguing this, including those on forums like this, actually knew what a lot of those constitutional rights were, then maybe things like this wouldn't get anywhere.  The easiest way you can lose your rights is by not knowing which ones you've lost.  And that's what the American public has been allowing for years.
